Etymology 1
Latinate feminine form of en Andreas and en Andrew.
Proper noun
s
en female Ancient Greek.
en 2003 w:Jack Weyland Everyone Gets Married in the End Cedar Fort, 0882907506 157 There's not much you can do with a name like Andrea. "Call me And." I don't think so. "Call me Andy." You say that and people will start calling you Handy Andy, and before you know it, you'll be getting phones calls from people wanting you to come and get their drain unstopped. So I've been forced to have people call me Andrea, which sounds like a girl who takes ballet and is learning to play the cello.
Usage notes
Recorded since the Middle Ages, but first popular in the latter half of the 20th century.
